NFL Trade Deadline 2019: No Deals for Le'Veon Bell, Jamal Adams

The 2019 NFL trade deadline has come and gone. After weeks of speculation surrounding some of the league's biggest names, a number of players found new homes for the second half of the season, while some of the biggest names rumored to be on the move are in the end staying put.

The Jets were reportedly looking to trade running back Le'Veon Bell before the 4 p.m. ET trade deadline on Tuesday. Trading Bell would have freed up space on New York's payroll after they signed him to a four-year, $52.5 million deal this year. The Eagles were allegedly interested in Bell, but the New York Daily News' Manish Mehta reports "it would be cost-prohibitive" for Philadelphia to acquire Bell.

According to the MMQB's Albert Breer, the Jets were "certainly receptive to the idea of moving Bell." He is affordable for the rest of the 2019 season with $1.06 million left in his base salary. However, Bell is set to make $13.6 million in 2020, most of which is fully guaranteed.

ESPN's Rich Cimini reports all Jets players were considered for a trade, including safety Jamal Adams.

According to David Moore of the Dallas Morning News, the Cowboys offered a first-round pick to the Jets in exchange for Adams. While ESPN's Adam Schefter notes that the Ravens were "actively going after" the Jets safety.

The asking price for Adams was "a shade under" what the Jaguars got for cornerback Jalen Ramsey, according to Breer, and the price tag was too high to get a deal done.
